“I enjoyed watching this film and I had not seen this since I was a young child. Amazing how many songs I remembered. I even remember soliciting my cousins to replicate the carriage scene with the young pickpockets for Nancy. A memory I had totally forgotten. Nice to see again and this one is put to bed.”

Lyrics: I was born in a cross-fire hurricane And I howled at my ma’ in the driving rain But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ Jack Flash It’s a gas, gas, gas I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag I was schooled with a strap right across my back But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash It’s a gas, gas, gas, uh I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled, yeah yeah I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread Yeah, yeah, yeah I was crowned with a spike right through my head But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash It’s a gas, gas, gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas Jumping Jack Flash, it’s a gas

“I find when I prepare my blog writings ahead so that in the moment I can be with my thoughts and creatively write is the best for me. The week can get away from me quickly. Today I was unwell and had probably my 3rd migraine ever and this one had the whole halo and colors to boot. I ended my day at noon, travelled home, changed into comfortable clothes and napped on the couch for several hours. I followed this up with a lazy watching of ‘The Lion In Winter’. The most important thing is I listened…listened to what my body and the Universe was screaming at me.”
